Elsewhere, in both the second and third grand quarters of the shield, is a lion rampant against an argent field. At the center of the shield is a smaller shield, with a sable fess featuring a castle at center against an ermine field. At the helm is a knight's helmet. Over the center design are two small circles, bordered by belts. The left contains a leopard rampant gardant upon a fess, with the motto Touch Not The Cat But A Glove upon the border.
